Opinions are formed from something, not nothing. Yes-senationalizing negative news does get more hits on a website, and some areas of gaming journalism use this tactic. For me personally, and I suspect the same for some of this journalism you are referring to is: Nintendo made Mario 64 which was on the cutting edge of console graphics and unlike anything I had ever seen before
I almost shit my pants when I saw Mario 64, we are talking quantum leaps in what had been seen. People remember that type of experience, and want to relive it.
So subsequently, these same people are a little disappointed when Nintendo unveils another derivative 2D Mario or Nintendoland.. Where is the holy shit Mario 64 experience that formed my view of Nintendo in the first place.
If Nintendo isn't Creating that holy shit moment, then there must be enough people supporting Nintendo land-type titles to make the company financially viable.
And that just... Sucks.
And that is why the other half of the gaming journalism posts negative articles about Nintendo- because simply put.. They want more, and so do I.
̶3̶R̶D̶ 2ND! Place has never been so sweet.
